Research summary

Dr. Mandy Archibald’s current research focuses on innovations in patient-oriented research using arts-based, mixed methods and knowledge translation science. Her work integrates technology and co-design to understand experiences of health, illness, and health service delivery specific to childhood chronic disease, and use these data to inform knowledge translation approaches across various health-illness and social contexts to improve outcomes for often marginalized and put-at-risk groups. She is currently leading funded interdisciplinary research into living labs for health and pediatric rehabilitation, youth onset-type 2 diabetes, and arts-based knowledge translation.
